Nerdapalooza 2010

Here it is, Halloween, and somehow, we’re ready to announce the date for Nerdapalooza 2010! The NAP Team has been really kicking things into gear to try to get more details to y’all sooner than later. In case you haven’t seen the Facebook event page yet, we’re going to be rocking out on Memorial Day Weekend, May 27th and 28th. It is MUCH earlier than previous years, but we wanted to try something different this year, and we’re guessing a three day weekend is going to make it a little easier for you. So, don’t forget to go to the Facebook event page and let the world know that you’ll be going to Nerdapalooza 2010!

Next up, we are proud to announce once again that our charity for Nerdapalooza 2010 will be Child’s Play!! We have loved working with them in the past and look forward to giving them even MORE money in 2010!

Next weekend, the Nerdapalooza team is going to be going to Nerd Invasion in force. If you are there, swing by our booth, pick up one of the live CDs, a T-Shirt, or a hug.

That’s it for now, time to get back to work to make 2010 the best show ever for you. Much nerdy love!

Hey everyone-

Sorry for the late posting of the blog, but this is a hectic weekend, and blogging just slipped my mind. Fortunately, I found some time and a steady connection, so here we go!

First off, I wanted to announce that the new Nerdapalooza Store is open for business. Like the Nerdapalooza website, it’s still under development, but some items are for sale. The two popular items seem to be the 2008 Nerdapalooza Tapes and the Nerdapalooza 2009 Concert Poster, which are both unfortunately out of stock, but we’re working on getting more in case someone out there wants to buy them. Go forth, young nerd, and buy Nerdapalooza merch!!

Next big announcement is something that’s still in the works called the Nerdapalooza 2010 Music Video Awards. Basically, we want to finally recognize all the amazing people that put time and effort into making excellent music videos for nerdy music, be it chiptunes, video game rock, nerdcore hip-hop, or the uncategorizable. There are no real details available, but if you want to make a music video before the award ceremony, which will take place during Nerdapalooza 2010, now is the time to start working on them! Please hold off on any questions about the specifics of the awards until the next announcement, but don’t hold off on making amazing music videos!

The final announcement would be for musicians interested in performing at Nerdapalooza 2010. We are currently not accepting applications, because it’s a little early, but we will sooner than later, so start putting together a press package that’ll be able to convince us that you are perfect for us.

And as a final little shameless plug, if you haven’t checked out the Nerdy Show podcast, I highly recommend it. It features none other than Brian Clevinger (writer for 8-Bit Theater and Atomic Robo), “Triforce” Mike Pandell (of A Comic Shop), Cap Blackard (Blogger Extraordinaire), as well as myself, John “hex” Carter. It’s a fun podcast about all things nerdy, be they video games, comics, or the music that we celebrate with Nerdapalooza. If you got two hours, check it out.

Anywho, thanks everyone for checking in! Hope you’re having a great weekend! Much nerdy love,

Ladies and gents, thank you so much for your patience during our downtime, but Nerdapalooza 2009 was so intense that we’ve been recovering ever since. However, we’re proud to announce that we have a new website we’ll be utilizing over at Nerdapalooza.org. It currently has the same graphics as last year, but we’re working on changing it up. I’ve seem some preliminary images, and I think y’all will totally dig it.

Next, in case y’all haven’t been paying attention to the next big awesome event coming up, in only two weeks is Nerd Invasion, coordinated by our pals Nerd Rockstar and Scrub Club. You can find out all the details and announce to the world your intent on going at the Facebook Event Page. For more up to date info, I fully advise following @nerdrockstar and @scrubclub over on Twitter! Even when they’re not talking about Nerd Invasion, you’ll get some fun and/or informative tweets rather often. And for the FULL rundown, head on over to their website for all the details.

Consequentially, Nerdapalooza has a pretty fun announcement tied to Nerd Invasion. As well as bringing t-shirts, stickers, and old posters, we will be releasing the Nerdapalooza 2009 Live CD at Nerd Invasion. If was an amazing show, so the only place to release it would be at ANOTHER amazing show! Not something you want to miss!

Well, that’s all we have for now. Thanks for supporting us, look forward to this weekly blog staying true!

Much nerdy love
